With several years' industry experience, he's earned a reputation as Mazvtier on social media and has his own private studio in Lima, Peru.
Throughout his career, he has illustrated and designed logos, merchandise, and album covers for internationally recognized bands, which was how he got started in tattooing.

Very good course, well explained. I really liked the explanation of how to create sketches from scratch and how to do shading, which I found a bit difficult.
